News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

[Tha Realest]

First of all, they definitely wouldn’t archive the piece before the attraction closed. Secondly, it was there this morning; they certainly wouldn’t archive it in the middle of operating hours. And finally, it appears other items in the queue were also stolen today. More info forthcoming.

Given how Disney is erasing any acknowledgement this attraction existed, maybe these are vigilante preservationists

 

[Disney Glimpses]

How do you steal that during operating hours with no one noticing ?

Very carefully.

Update: Disney has recovered the sign. Unclear what exactly took place today but it is safe backstage.

Maybe it just fell off the wall. There have been a lot of maintenance issues lately.

Not sure why they would steal the mason jars with coffee beans also these are in the middle of the queue no one noticed someone cutting the wire in front of the shelf. That goes for the sign as well in this day where everyone has a cellphone not one person decided to take a video or picture of someone doing this?

I know for a fact that a guest was involved. I don’t know with what intent; if any.

Someone stole one of the mason jars a couple of months ago. That’s when the wires were cut. There’s been a big gaping hole since. Not sure how it was done initially without detection, but imagine swiping the other ones was pretty easy.

Yeah that would be a time consuming thing I just find it amazing that someone would be able to do that.

We're gonna have Buzzy 2.0 with "Hey where's Br'er Frog?" Or something like that

UPDATE: Disney has released a photo of the culprit

Via Twitter. Cast say no archival procedures took place today (and they obviously wouldn’t do this).

People are disgusting.

1. Get a pair of wire cutters.
2. Go on Splash Mountain 34 times.
3. Each time you pass the cross-hatched wires, you make one cut and keep going.
4. Eventually, you'll have cut out a section.
5. Profit.

Personally I'd just buy mason jars fill them with coffee beans and wallah you can decorate just like the Splash Mountain barn. Seems easier

 

[Disney Glimpses]

So it was in fact a theft attempt

Yeah the good news it didn't succeed but it's unfortunate that it has come to this. Also in pretty sure you can buy reproductions of the sign online. Of course it won't be officially used but it's still better than stealing.

lol if Disney wasn't expecting it then wait until the last day. I really wonder how the last day will go.

People jumping out of the boats and handcuffing themselves to AA's like Toad in '98.

Its officially the final week of Classic Splash.

This hurts…hope the change is better than expected.

Seeing is how it would likely take a clipping tool, likely more than a nail clipper to do this kind of thing, we should all question how well the security scanners do, or it was an inside tech job.
